Folks, what's out there with just good old-fashioned ML rather than load-bearing theft? I know Whisper and similar "open" software are actually built on laundered LLMs from the usual suspects, I have no idea whether anything ethical is still on the scene

I got some lovely release day flowers from my family (thank you family) so obviously I had to do a lil photoshoot of the Scottish Spice trio in all its glory! You do not have to read these books in order - they are all standalones focusing on different couples in Belbarrow 🍓
